Anyone else frustrated by all the blurred facial pics?  I 100% understand the need for discreteness; however I don't want to spin the roulette wheel when I open the door. And, many reviewers are overly generous with ratings.   This defeats TER's value to the rest of us, and isn't fair to the providers that deserve high ratings.  Is it sleazy to ask for non-blurred photos before booking?  Suggestions?  And - thank you providers that show non-blurred photos.  It makes a huge difference in deciding who to book, and hopefully is good for your business.

I won't share my face photo with anyone because it's incredibly easy to find me on social media by my face lol... Had to remove my smile cus someone recognized me from that alone -_-  

That we want to stay anonymous, but we expect the provider to fully disclose. SMH

I've seen plenty of escorts who blurred  their pictures. If you read the reviews many veteran hobbyists will mention that the provider is a looker and you dont have anything to worry about.  
I trust a number of veteran guys when they write as we've usually seen the same providers and scored them similarly.  

A woman who shows her face can be "found" by potential employers in other fields, leading to denial of employment or being fired.  This is just one of the hazards that women with unblurred faces face.  

I blur or crop mine for privacy reasons.In my opinion there are some ladies who will send you non-blurred pics after screening has been done.I am not one of those ladies.I rarely have a guy ask for unblurred pics but the few times I was asked I declined.
There are many ladies who do show their face so if a blurred face is a dealbreaker just see someone who shows their face.
Once a provider sends a guy unblurred pics she has no idea what he is going to do with those pics.
Even if he says he will not show them to anyone won't post them anywhere I find that sometimes that is not the truth.
There are guys who can't wait to show other guys and providers an unblurred pic of a provider.I have had guys attempt to show me on their phones/IPads.I am not interested in seeing that but I was thinking to myself this is the exact reason why you do not send unblurred pics to anyone.
Just my .0

From time to time I browse male companions' ads and I definitely prefer to see his face prior to reaching out.  
But for me it's not only about physical beauty: it's because I like to think I can sense something of his personality and character by looking at his expression in photos.  :shrug:

You misunderstood.  Not bitching.  Just trying to avoid being disappointed, which obviously is one of the primary rationales for TER's existence.  Simply looking for productive suggestions from fellow members and providers.

I just went through a few days of photos on the "photo only" board and the blurring is so slight that I can see 'what I'm getting'. Yes, it is nice to see the eyes, but agree that safety first. There isn't one photo where I would hesitate seeing a girl because of the blurring....my .02

So that's the reason I keep my pics blurred. I have no inclination people in my office know what I do beside sitting with them in the office. Xo

I'm not bothered by blurred face pics.  Its absolutely a safety and discretion thing and I respect that.
Also in most cases the blurring isn't so bad that you can't get a general idea of what she looks like. I agree with Naomi as well...99% of the time a provider doesn't know what the person is going to look like that shows up for a date!

Some faces are blurred, some aren't. Like to to see the picture, book with this woman, don't see the pic, don't book. But you already knew it? Xo

I clearly see the girls point: they're going to have a life after they leave the business and don't want some idiot walking up to them with a shit eating grin,avoiding stalkers and maintaining their own safety should be the first priority.
My personal pet peeve is disguised tats...I don't like them and it's based on my own personal experiences.  
Made the mistake of asking someone to describe her's before I booked an appointment...figured it was a better option than having her open the door and me finding I'm not interested...and you'd have thought I'd shot her mother.  
There needs to be a balance, what I see on the boards is more attitude than common sense on some subjects.  
If you feel like blurred faces is an issue important to you then by all means state it, stand by it and make your choices based on what YOU like...it's your time and money.

I wouldn't send my unblurred photo to anybody, because they might be able to use software to trace my real identity.  

...and then either meeting those expectations or being happily surprised when you walk in the door (part of the fun can be in finally finding out what she looks like). You think super models look the same in person as their pro shots? Besides, good skills and personality can overcome most any disappointment with physical beauty. Get over it or stick with the smaller selection of ladies who show their face.

Typically they tell you about how she looks.. it's very hazardous for a provider to be emailing their faces willy nilly all over the place.. She owes you zero..  
I'm close with someone who used to be a provider.. Her Baby daddy got pics with her face.. she now has issues with child custody.. so wise up & be real..

For me, I am frustrated that I must blur my photos. Most people say my face is my best asset. But in this country, it is dangerous to not blur. I've heard of ladies getting kicked out of places because they were recognized by staff.  

Super heavy blur and the lady may have some very strong distinguishing characteristics.  By no means does it mean she may not be attractive.  Reach out to some of the last reviews.  
I do not agree with sending out facial photos, I will not do it nor do I allow film or photo during session.  And it is a turn off to be asked as it clearly states on my site that I will not provide any.
Simple, either you gamble or pick reputable providers that do show their face.  There are plenty of them.

Besides the fact that we have lives outside of this, or aspirations and plans for a future life beyond companionship many hotels keep updated books with local and touring companions to their area.  

Easy solution, you send a provider your name and an accurate photograph before you meet and ask her to do the same, what could possibly go wrong?

my personal preference is no tats... tho i can take one or two tasteful ones.... but when a girl's pix show no tats and her page says "many" i move on...

Although you elaborated on the fact that you do blur your face, would you also have any tattoos and if you did do you make sure your photographer blurs those out too?  This question would not be so much for the office but for your civilian friends, who might be male, and are not cognizant of the fact that you are working in this demimonde.

But i'm guessing it's not as hypocritical when a provider with blurred pics wants additional information from a client? Like work number, title/position and who to ask for when she calls etc....

Blurred Photos are not an issue for someone with a holy hell rocking ass body like that!!! Good lawd

There are simply too many guys who review that simply appear to have no standards.

and it is not because we are trying to trick you.  It is because once we send it, we personally have no control over where it goes.  Enough guys have shared info about us that there is no way I would send out an unblurred page.  I also found that having a hidden page with unblurred photo's doesn't help either(I used to have one).  When I checked the IP addresses that were accessing that page and making sure they matched the same ones sending emails unfortunately I found that many of the IP's were not from guys who ever reached out to me.  I even briefly had a password protected page, however again I found IP addresses frm guys who either never emailed me or they had even failed my screening and would never have been given access(thinking they reached out for more info on the guys board or similar and one of my past guests shared the page and password with them).  So because there are indiscreet guys, no way!  If you really do not like what you see when you open the door, leave.  Or close yoour eyes and think about how my lips feel, I will leave that up to you.  But unblurred pics, no way.  

Luckily most people in my personal life are so vanilla they'd never think of looking for anyone they knew on escort sites!

ONLY see girls who show their face...

shrink their ears?

The level of dysphoria some people have doesn't always make much sense lol. But to each their own.

I say this having just asked a smokin hottt out of towner about her tats. I really don't need to see any more that what she shares on the Photo Board and her website to want to see her. Mui Caliente!  

and that's why you're the coach?

get cat ear pointing!

He's asking a damn question for Christ sakes!! That's what you call bitching? He's here, he's new, he's asking a question! Jesus H Christ get a life!

...and I've never been disappointed...

You're not sitting by the phone, wringing your hands hoping I'm going to call you?

Other than that, there's not much you can do.  

Plausible deniability is a wonderful thing.  

wait until you start seeing the ones who take pics while they're standing on trees lol. truly hilarious lol

Most hobbyists whom have hired a woman with blurred face pics will state the woman looks gorgeous. I trust the guy is not lying to save his own face from having hired a butter face.

...good idea I think. I have found a way to see them before "seeing" them however.

well whether or not we agree on the path, we both arrive at the same place:  you gotta take a look at available research, figure out what your gut says about the lady, and then either take a chance or don't.

I prefer face/distinguishing marks removed as I don't really want to take a girl out in public if she is internet famous as an escort. I do sometimes take them to work events. From lady's perspective I couldn't imagine not blurring unless she was 100% sure this was her career forever and didn't have personal entanglements.  

Discretion is appreciated by "gentlemen".  There are different classes of John's, as with hookers. Don't be a twerp and ask for a facial pic of she blurs. That's being a moron all the way around.  Find your balls and do a 180 at the door of her face doesn't suit you. A scared man never wins... In Vegas anyway.  

I've gotta' see this lol!

Isn't that the same argument hookers use when guys refuse to provide screening info?

In fact, I was recognized by a neighbor who lived in my apartment complex. He was also an extreme hobbyist as well and watched the ads very closely. *shudder*
